Phillip Schofield's recent "fall from grace" has led to him being described as "The Grim Reaper" by an insider from This Morning.
It has been reported that his relationship with co-presenter Holly Willoughby has been teetering on the rocks, prompting him to release an emotional statement on their friendship.
The ITV presenter said "the last few weeks haven't been easy for either of us" which came as a shock to Holly and the rest of the This Morning team.
